The ride is noticably stiffer, especially on the shitty roads around town. Turn in is much more crisp though on the back roads, and it feels more planted.
The drop is about 1 1/4 inches from stock. Got these from a friend and board member (WVRx7) who refused to accept any money for them. Thanks Bill
This isn't my daily driver so it'll be garaged until I can get it aligned, still trying to get a bead on a decent shop in my area.

I'll be moving to Roanoke VA soon so I've kinda searched around for some good speed shops. Peter Farrell supercars is in Mannassa VA. They can prolly hook you up with an allignment.
If you do find any other good shops, let us know on here. I haven't baught my 7 yet, but I plan on getting one within the month. I can't stand not having booost. I was DSM before, now that I have a real job, its time to get serious.
I'm looking into this guys ride in St. Louis MO, anyone know about it?

Sounds like a good deal if it wasn't totally thrashed after the T78 kit went on.

The R1's, however, do come with rear speakers because they are not equipped with the Bose system.

good luck with that buddy. i got the same set-up... be careful if you get different wheels, I knocked my fenders out real quick. You'll love it though. Ride it around for a little and it will sit a 'little' lower.

Looks nice.
FYI - the Pettit Eibach spring kit is better than a regular Eibach kit. Eibach custom makes the Pettit springs to Pettit's specifications. Thus, the springs are designed specifically for the FD and its unique characteristics.
I didn't know this before I installed my non-Pettit Eibach kit.

I'm planning on getting a set of Koni Yellows, hopefully over the winter so it'll be ready for the spring.
